Summary: | Central New Quebec-Labrador represents a virtually virgin field to the geomorphologist and such is the variety of physiographic problem awaiting investigation that there is an almost unlimited choice of research topic. A concentration of activity is essential if worthwhile results are to be forthcoming, largely because of the relative brevity of the (summer) field season, but also on account of the considerable difficulty of traversing much of the terrain. Of the uninvestigated physiographic problems, the present writer chose to undertake a study of the morphology and genesis of hillslopes.
